Marriage at high altitude: the couple who said "yes" on a Southwest flight

There are so many oddities when it comes to weddings. But, the marriage at high altitude, it is definitely Among the most original ways to get married. The latest couple to do so? Pam and Jeremy, who said yes at an altitude of 10,600 meters. A wedding, theirs, celebrated in front of the crew and passengers of a Southwest flight to Las Vegas.

Marriage at high altitude: the story of Pam and Jeremy

Southwest Airlines shared a post on Facebook, with video of the wedding between Jeremy and Pam (Patterson) Salda, who unexpectedly ended up getting married on their way to Las Vegas. A decidedly unusual choice, considering that couples travel to Las Vegas specifically to get married in one of the city's chapels.

When they say love has no boundaries, this is a marriage in the clouds

The airline also told the story of how it came about the idea of marriage at altitude: "Last Tuesday, Pam and Jeremy joked about a possible wedding in Las Vegas. A joke, which soon became serious: neither of them was joking, and the will to get married was really there. So they booked a flight for this Sunday with a competing company of ours, setting the wedding for the evening in a Las Vegas chapel."

However, when they arrived in Dallas from Oklahoma City for their flight to Las Vegas, they found that the coincidence had been deleted. Another passenger, a fellow Chris Mitcham, who had just been appointed as an officiant, overheard Jeremy and Pam talking. The three managed to find a seat on the same Southwest flight, departing from Dallas Love Field (across town from Dallas-Fort Worth). They therefore boarded an Uber, with the two betrothed dressed for the wedding: white dress for her, dark suit for him. Upon reaching their destination, a Southwest driver asked them what was going on.

Pam explained the whole story to the captain, jokingly saying that they should get married during the flight. "Let's do it!" he replied, surprising her. So the crew prepared toilet paper flakes and a sash for the officiant, while a'flight attendant assumed the role of bridesmaid. A professional photographer who was on board the plane took photos, and a passenger asked everyone to sign a notebook with best wishes. Before takeoff, the bridesmaid unloaded Richard Wagner's "Wedding Chorus," and passengers were asked to turn on the call lights to create a romantic atmosphere. The wedding cake? A colorful donut, kindly offered by a traveler.

"Southwest has been the airline of love for almost 51 years-we have always celebrated our customers in special ways," a representative from the company told NBC News. "We were thrilled to host Pam and Jeremy's special day. Our employees are known for their heart and hospitality-we know our crew, and our customers. We are sure the couple will remember this flight for a long time to come."
